So... What did I buy?

The ( -6 ) is the Pour number from that ladle. I believe they at sometimes they would get (13 ) blocks from one ladle. I have already seen a (-13) .

The (340 - 1) would be the hottest with the most bi-metal The higher numbers the pour gets colder and the flow is not consistent plus some slag. I have seen a -11 and the block was not that complete around the lifter bores who knows what it would have sonic tested at.

I don't think it is core shift as much as it is incomplete flow around the bores Also at the end of the shift QC is gone. They usually go home before the hourly workers.
